Description
Garth House in Delting is a later 19th-century building featuring a square pony pound, with harl pointed pink granite rubble walls accented by stugged sandstone dressings and a concrete-covered wallhead raised at the corners.
The northeast elevation has a symmetrical design with a wrought iron gate and decorative latch at the center. On the southeast elevation, there is a wrought iron gate in a single doorway to the left, with a lean-to gable extending from the end. The southwest elevation appears blank, with the right corner obscured by a roofless lean-to rubble shelter that has a door set in the re-entrant of the west elevation. The northwest elevation includes a single doorway to the right.
Inside, the main enclosure is divided by a rubble wall running north to south, which bounds the eastern side of a passage leading to a four-chamber square inner enclosure made of battered rubble walls, with gates grouped at the center. The roof features a mono pitch of purple-grey slate supported by regularly spaced timber columns resting on stone pads, which run continuously around the western side of the main enclosure, while the eastern roof has been demolished. A modern flat-roofed shed has been built in the eastern corner.
In terms of ruins, a rubble wall extends east from the eastern corner, adjoining the ruined remains of another building, with further ruins located to the northeast.
